-------------
The first level requires you to deduce the movements of rotating chambers. While the gap is shown open in this map, it will close as soon as the player enters the level in the top chamber. This level is mappable, but no-dig outside of the moat.
Each chamber contains four pieces of colored glass at the points marked *. Within a single room, all of the pieces of glass will be the same color. The locations of the different colors are random from game-to-game. All of the following colors will be represented: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, white, black. [1]
Each marked trap is a special squeaky board. Stepping on it will adjust the puzzle and provide a clue as to the next steps.[2]
